There was a time when some really great movies were on the tube, back when three networks had to compete with the thousands of movie theaters and bigger stories.

Starring Scott Jacoby -- who, if you were around anywhere in the 70s, you'd recognize this kids face -- as Ronald, a lonely, weird, creepy kid who accidentally kills a neighbor girl. His mom (Planet of the Apes Kim Hunter) decides to board up the downstairs bathroom and hide her boy inside, until the heat is off. But then she goes off and dies, leaving the kid inside the walls. And then, another family moves in (I guess a big house with only one bathroom and three girls didn't bother them) and Ronald goes from bad to worse.
